Young Creatives are a group of incredible musicians who are stepping up their involvement in Multi-Story to guide the orchestra in a new direction. These talented young musicians will be involved in Multi-Story at every level, from creative direction, to marketing, to strategy. Below, you’ll find some information about each one.
You can read about The Endz here, a project that the Young Creatives led on, and find out a bit more about them below.
Flame
My name is Flame and I am part of the Young Creatives team and Marketing group at MSO. Since I was a little girl, I have always been invested in the Performing Arts - singing and dancing every chance I had! I have three certificates/medals in ballet and modern dancing and I toured Barcelona with my former choir. Recently, I‘ve been taking opera lessons with opera singer Kate Royal. Multi-Story orchestra has given me unforgettable experiences. From being on stage and performing to feeling valued enough to make decisions for the organisation; the empowerment and pride that working with the orchestra gives ignites me. I share their mission to share our music and enable people to experience a rare and heartwarming form of musical authenticity.
Dupri
I am Dupri and I’m a young, passionate and committed soul singer/songwriter, with the talent and drive to succeed. Growing up amongst the vibrant and diverse music scene in South London, and listening to gospel music straight from America, I was exposed to an environment full of inspiration and stimulation for my soulful, feel-good music. I am interested in developing and creating ideas as a soloist and within a group. I love a good riff and a note hitting a soprano octave ha! I am an experienced performer and have performed at many events and concerts through my school, Harris Academy Peckham. The biggest performance so far was at the Excel Arena in front of a crowd of over 4000 people. This helped me win the ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’ from the Jack Petchey Foundation. Creating and performing alongside Multi-Story orchestra to create an amazing piece of music like, ‘The Endz’ was the experience of a lifetime and I am grateful to work alongside them as a Young Creative.
Prince
My name is Prince and I’m very passionate about composition. My interests include creating and playing music and being involved in other creative media such as video editing and graphic design. I love creating film/video game music and producing songs of my own. Due to my love for composition, I aim to enter the industry of Video Game Composition in hopes my music creates an impact in people’s lives. I’ve started to create a portfolio of composition and I plan on releasing a small album of pieces. I’ve been heavily involved in Multi-Story Orchestra for multiple projects such as ‘Sky dances’, ‘Stay on it’ and ‘The ENDZ’, and I’m always looking forward to the next project!
Yeray
My name is Yeray and I am extremely in love with music - especially music in the Western Classical tradition! I play both Piano and Flute and my aim is to make people enjoy music as much I do! Maths is also a passion of mine, because it reveals beauty in the universe. I have played with MSO many times in projects and it fascinates me to play with professional musicians. My dream is to become an Astro-Physicist.
Amira
My name is Amira Lagzouli. I am currently in year 12, studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths and I am an aspiring doctor. Throughout my life, I have always been a creative individual, from playing piano and violin at an early age, to writing and performing poetry. Since a young age, music and performing was an outlet for stress and academic work and it allowed me to become a grounded and well spoken individual. During secondary school, I was able to have the opportunity to work alongside Multi-Story Orchestra and create multiple pieces of art that brought the community together and impacted many people's lives. Some of my hobbies include: taekwondo, going out with friends (especially when we try new food!) and playing and listening to music. Some of my favourite artists are Dave, Queen and Jack Harlow.
Nathaniel
My name is Nathaniel and I’m 17 years old. I study A Level Maths, Music and Computer Science. From a very young age, I’ve had a burning passion for music; it brings me joy and happiness. In secondary school, I joined the Chamber Choir and Jazz Band where I went on tour with my peers to perform around the UK. I like to play video games, read and watch anime. Also, I’m in a dance group where I learn R&B and K-Pop choreographies. Some fun facts about me are that I’m a foodie and my star sign is Sagittarius.
Angel
Hiya! My names Angel and I study photography in college. My hobbies are reading, baking, sleeping and gaming. I have recently taken to black and white printing; a method used in the darkroom to print images from film. Common subjects for my photos would be Nature and landscapes or just interesting things I see. I naturally like quiet and relaxing places. It is also one of the reasons I would like to travel around the world and perhaps pick up some new hobbies and obviously take photos. A book that will always be one of my favourites is the Maze Runner series with Minho being my favorite character. Two of my current favourite games are Overwatch and Genshin Impact but my all time favourite would be Call of Duty:Ghosts.
Fatia
Hello, my name is Fatia. I am 17 years old. I am a performing arts student in my first year at college. I’ve been doing performing arts since Year 10. My interests are Drama, Dance and Basketball. I swim and dance in my free time. The first time I acted in front of a crowd was a scary experience, but it also helped me to overcome my fears. Being in The Endz has taught me a lot about being an actress.
Christina
My name is Christina Brown-Onabanjo, AKA Taiwo (meaning the first born twin). I am creatively inclined, bringing a positive personality to everything I do; Music, Fashion and Writing. I am a focused and dedicated young professional studying in London. I come from a mixed flavour background enriched in parental roots from Africa and the Caribbean.
MOUSTAPHA
Hi, my name is Moustapha and I am 18 years old and live in South London. I have been working with MSO since about year 8. I attended Southwark College and studied Music there for 2 years and graduating with a distinction. I also am a drummer and have been playing the drums from about the age of 11.
Toni
Hi, I’m Toni (aka Tstizz) and I live in Bermondsey, South London. I attend ELAM and study Music Performance. Alongside my work with Multi-Story Orchestra, I am working on building a fanbase for my music, and first dropped my single ‘Slide’ on CanKing’s youtube channel.
